This is the history of what happened during the flour industry. First, the industry had to start somewhere. The mills had to have certain resources to make this industry possible. Minnesota had all of them. Rich, deep, soil was great for farmers to plant wheat, the best crop for making flour. Minnesota also had lots of rivers. St. Anthony Falls was a great river to power large mills. There were also lots of settlers. Minnesota had a large population in the cities during the industry. This meant for the flour mills that they could get people to work for the industry. Some jobs paid much better than others. If workers wanted to get a better paying jobs, the had to increase their human capital. All of these resources mad Minnesota do very well
